Meeting with Netanyahu
That is in Trump’s Gaza plan
With a 20-point plan, US President Donald Trump wants to end the almost two years of conflict in the Gaza Strip. These are the central points.
A gradual deduction of the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip, and in return the disempowerment of Hamas and the release of the remaining Israeli hostages: These are central points from the Middle East Peace plan of US President Donald Trump. While Israel’s head of government Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to the 20-point plan in Washington on Monday under conditions, Hamas said that she had not received the paper.
When should the weapons be silent?
As soon as Israel and the Palestinians have agreed on the peace plan, the war ends with immediate effect, “the plan says. Israel is said to suspend its military operation in the Gaza Strip, including air strikes.
What should Hamas do?
It should release all the hostile hostages that are still alive within 72 hours after the approval of Israel and hand over the remains of other hostages to Israel.
Then what is required by Israel?
In return, Israel is said to release 250 Palestinian prisoners who are serving life prison terms. In addition, 1700 people detained in the Gaza Strip are to be released. Then Israel is supposed to gradually remove its armed forces from the Gaza Strip.
What happens to the Palestinian civilian population?
“Nobody is forced to leave Gaza,” says the 20-point plan. This would make the demand of legal Israeli government members off the table after the coastal strip was cleared.
Who should rule the Gaza strip in the future?
A transitional government of “apolitical” Palestinians and international experts is planned. They should take care of the administration of the Gaza Strip and the care of people. A “Peace Council” under Trump’s direction and with the participation of the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and other heads of state and government, the expert government should therefore monitor and supervise.
What happens to Hamas?
The Hamas, which has been in control of the Gaza Strip since 2007, is to be disempowered. Hamas members are guaranteed amnesty if they commit themselves to “peaceful coexistence” and give their weapons. Hamas members should also be allowed to leave the Gaza Strip.
Who should secure peace?
The United States wants to develop an “international stabilization group (ISF) with Arab and international partners, which is to be used immediately in Gaza”, as the 20-point plan says. It is intended to train Palestinian police officers in the Gaza Strip and, together with Israel and the neighboring Egypt, also ensure security at the limits.
Is a Palestinian state off the table?
The Trump plan does not fundamentally exclude a Palestinian state. “The conditions could finally be available for a credible path to the Palestinian self -determination and statehood,” it says. However, Netanyahu sharply condemned the recognition of such a state by France, Great Britain and other countries on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last week.
What role is intended for the Palestinian Authority?
According to the plan, the authority of Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas should play a role if it has implemented reforms. However, Netanyahu said when he appeared together with Trump that he “saw absolutely no role” for the authority without a “radical and real change”.
What’s next?
Trump and Netanyahu urged the Hamas to also agree with the peace plan. If this does not happen, Israel would have the “full support” of the United States, “to finally remove the threat from Hamas”. Netanyahu also threatened that Israel’s army would then be “ended” in the densely populated Gaza Strip.
